Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

    Ali was an excellent teacher. I struggle with the technical side of using dslrs, but Ali made everything so much easier to understand with his clear explanations and hands on teaching style. We covered a lot of information and also had chance to practicewhat we learned. I came away feeling much more confident about using my dslr in manual mode now.

    Title or Location: Wheatley Oxford
    This photograph was taken in early spring in the gently rolling hills near Wheatley. A lone pale horse grazes peacefully beneath a large, bare-branched tree, still untouched by new leaves. The surrounding trees and fields remain in their quiet transition from winter, bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun. The image captures the calm and quiet beauty of nature as it slowly awakens from its winter rest.

    The beauty of nature in spring inspires us to discover new and beautiful places. One such hidden gem is a small pond in a park near Wheatley, looking especially magical at sunset.

    Title or Location: Benalmadena
    This picture was taken on the Benalmadena Cable Car near Malaga Spain. It was last day of the holiday and we chose this location because it was close attraction to the place where we stayed. Soon we realised that it was one of the most beautiful places we visited during this holiday. But the best it was yet to come. When it got dark the view that revealed itself was just astonishing. It was really magical and the picture presents the glimpse of the landscape that could be seen from the top o

    Title or Location: Sniezka Mountain ,Karpacz
    This picture is a panorama of 6 vertical photographs taken hand-held. Sniezka Mountain is famous for its very hard conditions, especially at the top which are caused by specific microclimate. I was just coming back from a trip to the top of the mountain. At 1603 meters, the wind blew at 120km/h which made climbing the mountain ( where because of the clouds, visibility was reduced to around 30 meters ) a very unique experience. I have taken a few photos at the top but it didn't show a lot. On

    Title or Location: "I See You"
    People often wonder why I bring such a large lens to the Zoo. I used a Sony G lens with a focal length of 300-600mm for this shot. When I visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, my objective is to take pictures that don't feel like they were taken at the zoo. In this case, the close-up of the tiger does just that, and you are brought into his focus. You can feel the intensity of his stare!Never stop capturing the moments!

    I am new to photography, and this was my very first attempt at a golden hour sunset photo. I had arrived plenty early to set up, but quickly got discouraged because I could not seem to get the exposure right when shooting into the sun. Just when I was ready to give up, the sun got low enough, and suddenly everything exploded with color. I was very happy with the photo at first, but now wish I had moved more to my left so I could cut the bridge out of the image. That white thing across the wa
